**Underlined Text On (rollOver)**  
Is there an action script to do on (rollover) underline text? It would be on a button that would also, on (release) gotoAndPlay a frame. I know you can have a movie with AS like this:

on (rollOver) {  
myformat = new TextFormat();  
myformat.color = 0xffffff;  
myformat.underline = true;  
textfeild.setTextFormat(myformat);  
}  
on (rollOut) {  
myformat = new TextFormat();  
myformat.color = 0xffffff;  
myformat.underline = false;  
textfeild.setTextFormat(myformat);  
}

But when I add the on (release) to the movie it doesnt advance the timeline on (release). And when I change the file to a button instead of a movie clip it doesnt do the underline on (rollOver).  
Does anyone have any easy advice?  
Thanks
